Bob Kane didn't like or understand that Joel Schumacher wanted O'Donnell to wear an earring. Kane also disliked the nipples on the costumes.[1]

O'Donnell reportedly was part of a field of candidates for Robin that included Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Toby Stephens, and Scott Speedman.

After the boys overwhelmingly declared O'Donnell the winner, he was ultimately given the role.
